Message to Katjuscha 2022 against war
WAR in Ukraine 2022 was not started for "defense" or "protection"; it was started with aggression by a man who is clearly up to dicatorship! The original version of that famous russian song describes a young woman, walking cross meadows and between apple blossoms, receiving a letter from her loved one who is far away at war; in the old song she kind of excuses that because she thinks he d protect his country; here a new text from 2022 - which is dedicated to peace and NOT to war. _________________________________________ Here we are, what do you say, Katjuscha? Blood instead of apple trees we face. People die, they are innocent Katjuscha! War has made this world a dreadful place. Did he write a letter now, Katjuscha? When we hear the sound of war all day. He's just fighting there for nothing, Katjuscha. All we do is cry and hope an pray. When you walk cross the meadows now, Katjuscha, to the river like you did it long ago. Think of mothers, fathers, children, Katjuscha. How they shiver as their fears still grow. Noone ever could justify that killing. Look out now, your people are betrayed, they told them lies just to make their soldiers willing, to attack, to kill and fade away. You know well, it's nothing new, Katjuscha, but the truth will always find a way. In the end we will surely see it winning, it will rise and bring brand new day. (written March 2022)
